Hi, I'm not really new to this website or the Mental Health section. I've never posted in this thread though. Does anyone else feel as though it wont 'get better' as all the self help websites tell you. I've been unhappy for a good few years now and I keep getting unhappier as I get older. I just want to be a kid or a teen again with no worries or responsibilities. not that I really have any now, I'm just finishing my second year of Uni, living at home - halls wasn't for me. But I cant help feel stressed out about my future, getting a job, being alone. I hate that I never do anything about my situation but feel so helpless to do so. I've done so crap at uni this year as well. all my deadlines are Tuesday and I've hardly done anything, I'm gonna get 40% at most. I feel like my life is just one failure after another, I don't feel in control of it like I'm just waiting for the next bad thing to happen to me. I'm also really lonely and only have one close friend. I had to cut all my other friends off as they are just horrible, so that is a step in the right direction as I do feel better without them. its just life didn't really turn out the way I expected it to. Life was so much better in high school there was no pressure, I wish i could rewind time to 2007 and be 15 again. Sorry for rambling, Im not sure why I wrote all that, just going through a hard time and needed to put it somewhere.
